Getting the Most From Your IP Budget: Strategies for IP Portfolio Management and Litigation Avoidance
In difficult economic times, companies must cut budgets, and intellectual property (IP) managers are asked to do even more with less. And when least expected, litigation may be initiated against the company.
This Patent Nation Web Conference series, included corporate IP managers from two different industries who provided their perspectives on practical steps for responsibly managing reduced IP budgets, maintaining an effective IP portfolio, and preparing to defend against an untimely lawsuit.
Topics addressed:
- Strategies for minimizing IP costs without compromising the company’s IP position or the technology’s value
- Strategies for delaying litigation costs
- Strategies for monetizing existing IP when the company needs funding but investors are scarce
- Strategies for delaying and reducing costs for IP rights in foreign countries
